PINEHURST, N.C. -- Adam Scott's streak in major championships is intact after the United States Golf Association awarded him an exemption Monday to compete in this week's U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.
Scott, who is ranked No. 61 in the Official World Golf Ranking, was one of six golfers added to the field on Monday. The top 60 golfers in the Official World Golf Ranking make the U.S. Open field.
Scott became exempt after the USGA removed the late Grayson Murray (No. 59) from the list for qualifying purposes. Murray died by suicide on May 25.
